Our tiny back garden pond was set up to see if we could attract Dragonfly and Damselfly.
The latter logged our first sighting less than a couple of weeks ago and which fascinated Sylvia for over an hour.
However as a result of prolonged ill health, sadly, Sylvia passed away earlier this week and what should decide to come and visit me? -
this beauty

Initially it was totally unexpected sighting but then left me wondering 'maybe not'

About me

The wrong side of pension age, I reawakened my earlier interests in bird and widlife watching, with a holiday on The Isle of Mull during summer 2008. Bought a scope to watch eagles and otters and we were not disappointed. So when we got home I started to cover some local haunts and thought it may be worthwhile to put some time in and around the The City of Newcastle and the River Tyne.I also paint pictures, most having some link to football and a selection can be seen at www.fansoffootball.net
